Question
Answer
peptidoglycan   show
🗑
capsule   show
🗑
show a thick-coated, resistant cell produced by some bacterial cells when they are exposed to harsh conditions.  
🗑
fimbriae   show
🗑
show In bacteria, appendages that pull two cells together prior to DNA transfer from one cell to the other; also called a sex pilus.  
🗑
taxis   show
🗑
flagella   show
🗑
What is the difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?   show
🗑
show A non-membrane, non- enclosed region in a prokaryotic cell where its chromosome is located.  
🗑
plasmid   show
🗑
what are the three factors that give rise to high levels of genetic diversity in prokaryotes?   show
🗑
show transformation, transduction, and conjugation.  
🗑
show a change in genotype and phenotype due to the assimilation of external DNA by a cell. When the external DNA is from a member of a different species, transformation results in horizontal gene transfer.  
🗑
transduction   show
🗑
show when DNA is transferred between two prokaryotic cells (usually of the same species) that are temporarily joined.  
🗑
show In bacteria, the DNA segment that confers the ability to form pili for conjugation and associated functions required for the transfer of DNA from donor to recipient. May exist as plasmid or be integrated into the bacterial chromosome.  
🗑
F plasmid   show
🗑
R plasmid   show
🗑
obligate aerobes   show
🗑
obligate anaerobes   show
🗑
Facultative anaerobes   show
🗑
What are the 5 major clades of Bacteria?   show
🗑
show 1) Korarchaeotes 2) Euryarchaeotes 3)Crenarchaeotes 4) Nanoarchaeotes  
🗑
show An organism that lives in such extreme environmental conditions that few other organisms can live in.  
🗑
extreme halophiles   show
🗑
show An organism that thrives in hot environments (often 60-80 degrees Celsius or hotter)  
🗑
show An organism that produces methane as a waste product of the way it obtains energy. All known methanogens are in domain archaea.  
🗑
decomposers   show
🗑
show The conversion of atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3).  
🗑
symbiosis   show
🗑
show an ecological relationship in which a parasite eats the cell contents, tissues, or body fluids of its host.  
🗑
pathogens   show
🗑
Exotoxin   show
🗑
Endotoxin   show
🗑
antibiotics   show
🗑
show using bacteria to break down sewage, chemical spills, etc.  
🗑
genetic engineering   show
🗑
show on plasmids  
🗑
show They are poisoned by O2.  
🗑
show the shape of their chromosomes and plasmids  
🗑
An ecological relationship between organisms of different species that are in direct contact can best be described as _____.   show
🗑
Bioremediation is _____.   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
